“What is it about Putin, if anything, that you do not agree with him on?”
See? You are at it again.
Anyone that doesn’t agree with the party line as determined by YOU is a “putinista”. I’ll bet you are really popular over at KOS, where Groupthink is the order of the day.
I don’t agree with Putin, but I do understand what is causing him to act. Is it to his advantage? Hell yes it is. Don’t think “rules for radicals”, think Machiavelli. “The Prince that is feared, is far more respected than the Prince that is loved.”
I’m on the other side of the world from this, with no personal stake in it, trying to observe the facts that are available to me, and interpret them as best I can.
You should try it sometime.
I can name at least ten thing I don't approve of with Obama. Get outside your comfort zone. What do you not approve about Putin the Great?
Things I don’t approve of concerning Obama:
1. Obama Care.
2. Labeling all opposition against him as racist.
3. Supporting authoritarian governments hostile to the USA.
4. Not supporting Israel.
5. Harassment of Christians who oppose ObamaCare.
6. IRS harassment of political opposition.
7. Weakening US defense.
8. Over spending.
9. Over taxing Americans.
10. Demonizing opposition.
Good stuff.
